Updated June 2021

Consultation on the Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy Project has now closed. Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback.

The next steps of the project are to develop a Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy considering community feedback and suggestions received. For the latest updates on this project, visit Coastal Hazards Adaptation Strategy on Council's website.

Read the Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy – community engagement report.

As our climate changes, Brisbane City Council wants to ensure our coastal communities remain resilient and safe, confident and ready for coastal hazards such as cyclones, coastal erosion, storm-tides and sea level rise.

Council is developing a Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy to assess the risk from projected effects of sea level rise over the medium to long term, and propose adaption measures to mitigate impacts.

Council has gathered local knowledge about areas in Brisbane affected by coastal hazards. This feedback will assist Council in understanding the different types of coastal hazards, specific locations and suggested solutions.

Council received funding support through the QCoast2100 program, a partnership between the Queensland Government and the Local Government Association Queensland for research into the development and implementation of the strategy.

    Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy – Survey

    Our Coastal Brisbane – Resilient and ready 

    Council is collecting feedback about observed changes in the impacts of coastal hazards in our bayside and riverine areas. The survey relates to areas within the Brisbane city local government area. 

    Coastal hazards are weather-related events, such as storm tides and other extreme weather conditions that create inundation and erosion in our coastal areas. Coastal hazards include: 

    • Coastal erosion which includes shoreline recession due to sea erosion causing a permanent loss of land. 
    • Storm tide inundation is a temporary inundation of land and occurs when water levels are elevated well above normal tidal levels during a severe storm event. 
    • Sea-level rise inundation which includes periodic or permanent tidal inundation of land due to a rise in the mean sea level. 

    Before completing this survey, it is recommended that you read Council’s fact sheet on Coastal Adaptation.
